I can:

  • Accomplish damn near anything from a command line
  • Write machine code
  • Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes without looking them up
  • Disassemble damn near any computer or other machine, and stand a good chance of putting it back together

But also:

  • Use modern programming languages, including object oriented paradigms
  • Actually read what is on my screen and comprehend it, including error messages
  • Understand and operate any arbitrary interface without having to have it explained to me by rote

Behold my mixture of skills, and tremble.

You just made me realize the Zoomers are actually much closer to making Warhammer 40k a reality. IT engineers are like Tech Priests to these Zoomers.

If you’ve never read it Vernon Vinge a fire upon the deep had a type of programmers in the future known as programmer archaeologists. The tldr is nobody wrote new code just dug up old code and bolted it together. I used to think that was silly, after llms lately and dealing with interns I no longer think of it as fiction.
